Very empty leader board; this Raptor team isn't about top end talent, the only PER over 20 is Boucher's in limited minutes on the bench. The Covid Raptors were second in defense, they're seeded 6th in the region. 25 year old Siakam made 2nd Team All NBA. The matchup is a real wipeout; the Sonics, I think, are the first team in the tournament to have the better at all 5 starting spots.
